Putting in the limelight of the new and verified ICT possibilities and new functionalities in the use of the Internet for planning and implementation of gOTP and preparing of preventive and repressive DDD procedure implementation in the area of the City of Osijek and the area of Eastern Slavonia can dramatically decrease business costs, increase the effects of protection means application and especially influence environment preservation. The use of the available data bases about space and the possibility of manipulation with this spatial data bring us even closer to the time, when the control and the supervision over space will be in real time with possibilities of direct intervention. In this paper, some possibilities and the operationalization of a systematic approach to the formation of various communication and network services in the Internet environment for the purpose of management and improvement of ICT use in gOTP and DDD, especially in the field of public health care are being considered.
